In any case, I don't say, and I'll never do, that Nikon Zs are not good in absolute terms, I just wrote that they are not "competitive" to Sony A7/A9 cameras for what concerns money, the ratio price-convenience is on favor of Sony, no more no less. The addition of a second card slot will be a hugely welcomed change for some photographers. Never mind S5 their new in the FF block. They all get the job done. Are you missing something on the other side :). The comparison shows R6 and ZII technologies are where Sony was three years ago? on the right between labels 36 and 38. @Thoughts, I say that "are you paid" because @bernardlang goes to extraordinary lengths touting how Nikon is "Best" at everything in an almost comical way.

And that's really the key as nowadays when a company releases a new camera, their largest market is their universe of existing users. The Z6II is a versatile little camera. On paper the D810 did seem like a very modest upgrade. @ Knock Knock Who is ThereYou are looking at the wrong place. "the Canon R6 is showing finer detail despite its lower pixel count" - debatable in JPEG, certainly not in RAW. Those predominantly shooting people (or pets) might favor the systems in the Z6 II’s rivals, as they’re a bit more sophisticated when it comes to eye and face tracking, but the Z6 II still does a very good job here, locking quickly and accurately on to the subjects we tested it on.

It's a Floating Home on the Fraser River ;-), @WhitelensWith as much time and effort that you are putting into a Nikon specific article like this one (a product you yourself said you do not own or plan on getting), you seem either jealous or envious or maybe just sour grapes more than anything else.Sony makes great product, but I don't plan on getting any of their products, so I don't post comments on any of their articles (you see how that works?). Well, I think they are making decent progress with lenses (especially once the 100-400 and perhaps a fast telephoto prime-like a 300 or 500mm--are available).

So the real question for Sony is can they release an a7 IV with significant enough new features to entice an a7 III owner to upgrade? A little caveat here though: there will be a 1.5x crop when shooting at this rate, and the upgrade won’t be available until around February 2021 via a firmware update.
